    Jesus, ate The Onion again. Right at the edge of believably.

      In the 90s, the headlines were absurdist satire, and the point was to laugh at people who could fall for it being a real news publication.

      Things like “Woman wins powerball lottery. Buys state of Montana.”

      NOW the headlines are absurdist satire, and the world has decided to bite the onion SO HARD that real life headlines are just as absurdist and satire adjacent, that you’re easily forgiven for not knowing the difference between ketchup and catsup.

          I call tomatoes god’s perfect food, but they can only be pushed so far until they become an abomination before a loving Jesus.
